Lol :10 chars: why not a new fresh partial sticky thread or placing it in first post by any of the project managers ? It is destined to get burried and newcomers to the project wont notice it either.

and also, there are more websites like indigogo....?
there are many (geeks) people out there who haven't heard about this project..
This is why kickstarter would be a good place to show the project.

We may consider kickstarter et al for 2nd batch, when we actually got a product and thus are certain about its feasibility, properties/specs and price.

Just to clarify, this is something we should ask GDC to do ?

So if there will be any action required, it will be described in the e-mail, so no need to worry about that

1. Kickstarter and Amazon Payments skim a lot off the top
2. Kickstarter is risky for developers, since their TOS requires that the end result is tangible product returned to the backers (or full refunds, presumably)
3. Kickstarter is risky for backers, since Kickstarter doesn't appear to enforce their TOS as mentioned above
Kickstarter is good for a lot of things, but electronic hardware development and production is probably not one of them.

Please forward my refund to Neo900 UG
Please send my refund to this account: "BIC:____; IBAN:_____; Bank Name:____"
Then you'll receive a mail from GDC asking you to visit your customer order management page and select either of both. I don't know exactly what Nikolaus is planning to do, but this approach seems least effort for customers and him.
